Y., ASSIGNOR TO VAN'TILITIES, INC., 01 NEW YORK, N. Y A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK TOILET ACCESSORIES CONTAINER Application filed May 27,

My invention relates tocontainers for a plurality of toilet accessories and refers particularly to containers adapted for the carrying and containing of an atomizer, a cosmetic pencil, or cosmetic stick, and a plurality of powder compacts.

As there are a number of toilet ascessories, such as perfume, eyebrow pencils, lip sticks, face powders and rouges which are in more or less constant use, considerable inconvenience is occasioned in carrying them in separate containers, and the object of my invention is a container of such construction that it allows of a combination of a number of such accessories in a compact form in which any of them can be readily and effectively applied.

The device of my invention is of such construction that it combines in a single container, a pluralit of powder compacts, such as an ordinary ace powder and a rouge, a mirror, a perfume container, an atomizer and a cosmetic pencil, so arranged that because of a co-operation between the several elements, the combination is presented in an attractive form of minimum size.

In the accompanying drawings illustrating one form of the device of my invention similar parts are designated by similar numerals.

Figure 10 is a section through the line 9-9 of Figure 5 with the vent tube open.

- The particular form of the device of my invention shown in the accompanying drawings comprises a casing formed by two parts forpurposes of ease of construction and assembling. One casing part consists of the 1y extended top flange 21 with an off-set portion 22, a recess 23, an upwardly extended member 24 and an extended off-set lip 25. The other casing part consists of the front 26 which has an inwardly extended bottom flange 27 with the recess 28. -The front 26 also has the inwardly extended top flange 29 having a recess 31, and an upwardly extended member 32. The front casing member 28, has an opening 33 and its end portions 34 and 35 are curved into semi-circular form.

When'the two casing elements are assembled, the back top flange 22 is positioned beneath the front to flange 29, thus bringing the edges of the anges 21 and 29 in abut ment. Similarly the back bottom flange 19 is positioned beneath the front bottom flange, thus bringing the edges of the flanges 18 and 27 in abutment. At the same time the edgesof 16 and 17abut respectively with the edges of 33 and 34. The two casing elements may be fixed in assembled position by a rivet passing through the holes 36 and 37 and a rivet passing through the hole 38 and an aligned hole in the flange 27.

Positioned within the casing is an atomizing device comprising the top plate 39 having opposite upwardly extended side fianges40, 40. One end part of the top plate 39 carries a ring, or band, 41, which in turn carries the tubular air pressure member 42, the lower end of which is closed and the upper open end having the peripheral flange 43.

The other end portion of the top plate 39 carries an annular member 44, the lower portion of which is threaded. A tube 46 open at both ends and having the opening in the upper portion thereof restricted passes through the member 44.

An air pressure tube 47 opens into the lower portion of the air pressure member 42, the other end 47 of the tube being positioned with respect to the tube 42 to effect atomization, or spraying, of a liquid as explalned later. An airrvent tube, or conduit, 48 opens into the upper portion of the air-pressure member 42, the other end thereof passing downwardly through the member 44.

The front casing carries two vertical members, or walls, 49 and 50,"thus dividing the interior of the easing into two end compartments 51 and 52 and a central compartment, 53.

The air-pressure tube 42 is positioned within the end compartment 52.

Within the air-pressure tube 42 is a longitudinally movable piston head comprising the member 54 and the cup-shaped member 55, the members 54 and 55 being connected together by the threaded member 56. A coil spring 57 connects the member 56 and the bottom of the tube 42.

Longitudinally movable within the airpressure tube 42, and removable therefrom, is a tubular cosmetic-stick container 58 having the enlarged closed head 59. Within the container 58, and lon itudinally movable therein, is a cosmetic-stlck holder 60 having an extended pin 61 movable within the opening 62, 62 of the container'58. The upper portion of the air-pressure tube 42 has an opening 63, through which the pin 61 extends and is movable, and the flange 43 has an opening 64 through which the pin 61 is removable.

A liquid container holder 65 is interiorly threaded in its upper portion to thread with the member 45, and has an enlarged annular lower end portion 66, a spiral spring 67 being carried by the interior face of the end 66.

A liquid container, or bottle, 68, is positioned within the liquid container holder 65, the spring 67 pressing the upper edge thereof against the washer 69 through whichthe tubes 46 and 48 pass. A compact container having the bottom 70 and the sides 71, 72 and 73 is hingedly attached to the casing front 26 by means of the hinge 74 connecting the upper edge of the front opening 33 with the bottom 70.

Hingedly-attached to the side 73 by means A of the hinge 75 is reflective plate 76, having the flange 77 and the extended thumb catch 78. The bottom 70 has the extended thumb catch 79.

A white powder compact 80 and a powder puff 81 are positioned within the central compartment 53, a rouge powder compact 82 and a powder puff 83 are positioned within the other compact container.

A hinged cover for the atomizer comprises the cover 84 having the extended arm 85 carrying the downwardly extended crosspiece 86, the cross piece 86 being,,positioned within the extensions 24 and 32. A flat spring 87 carried by the top plate 39 retains the cover in both open and closed position.

The operation of the device is as follows 'When it is desired to use a perfume carried by the bottle 68, the cover 84 is raised to the position shown in dotted lines in Figure 5, the cosmetic-pencil container 58 is 1'0- tated from the position shown in Figure 9 to that shown in Figure 10, the pin 61 being then in position to pass through the opening 64 of the flange 43 and hence capable of longitudinal movement within the; air pressure tube 42. This reciprocal movement of the member 58 transmits a reciprocal movement to the piston head, forcing air through the tube 47 and 47 at each downward movement of the piston head thus atomizing the perfume through the tube 46. During this movement air is admitted to the air chamber of the tube 42 around the sides of the piston head. When it is desired to discontinue the use of the perfume, the cosmetic-pencil container 58 is moved inwardly, the pin 61 passing through the opening 64 of the flange 43 and into the opening 63. The container 58 is then revolved, the pin 61 moving within the opening 63 and closing the air-vent tube 48. The cover 84 is then closed. It is to be particularly noted that when the device is not in use the air-vent tube 48 is closed by the pin 61, preventing access of air to the liquid container 68 and'hence preventing the escape of liquid through the tube 46 even if the device be in reverse from normal position. This is a most valuable and necessary attri bute to a device of this character.

When it is desired to use the cosmetic-pencil, the container 58 is revolved from the closed position, removed from the device and access obtained to the cosmetic-pencil 88 by movement of the pin 61.

When it is desired to use the white powder compact 80, the rouge powder container is swung upwardly by action upon the thumb piece 79, thus exposing the white compact, and the reflection plate 76, which covers the rouge compact, may be used as a mirror.

When it is desired to use the rouge compast, the reflective plate 76 is swung upwardly by action upon the thumb-piece 78, the other side of the plate 76 now acting a a mirror.

While it is desired to introduce a new supply of perfume, the member 73 is revolved, thus unscrewing the liquid container holder 65 which with the liquid container 68 can be removed from the-device and refilled and replaced.

t will thus be seen that my device possesses many valuable attributes as a toilet accessories container, among which are its compactness; its combination of a perfume atomizer, a plurality of compacts and a cosmetic-pencil; the possibility of replacement 'of any of its toilet accessories; the employcombination of its several toilet accessories in a mechanism of space.
